Boyd’s announcement came in the form of a poem, in which he thanked the city of Pittsburgh, noting, “I will carry you with me, I will continue to make you proud and I promise to never forget where I came from.”

Boyd is a local of Western Pennsylvania, and attended Clairton High School before choosing to attend Pitt in 2013.

“Tyler loves Pittsburgh and we love Tyler,” Narduzzi said. “We all look forward to watching him play and succeed at the next level.”
